I've been taking Ortho-TriCyclen for 3 months now, and this past month my boyfriend I had unprotected sex. I'm worried because it was around the 14th day of my cycle. I know that when you're on BC you don't ovulate, but I'm still alittle worried. Any advice? Thanks!!

Well, you`re definitely right, hon. You don`t ovulate. It doesn`t matter whether you have unprotected sex on the 14th day or the 1st days or the 28th day - as long as you`ve taken your pills consistently and correctly, your chances of getting pregnant are very, very, very slim. Without an egg, the sperm has nothing to combine with to form a little bun on the oven.
There are millions of women all over the world, and quite a few on this board, that use the pill as their only means of protection against pregnancy and haven`t yet had an unwanted one! They`re highly effective when used correctly.
I hope this helps!
